May flowers bloom on your birthday,
For you are the light sun and the spring rain.
Your smile chases dark clouds away;
Your smile erases my pain.

May birds sing for you on your birthday,
For your beauty inspires ode upon ode.
Your eyes are bright, warm as rays,
And your fair skin fairly glowed.

May alchemists marvel for you on your birthday,
For your heart of gold is far more
Precious than any kind of metal or clay,
And your kindness, I most adore.

May flowers bloom on your birthday,
For there is no beauty in the world without you.
I cannot imagine more lovely a way
To die than at your hand and be born anew.
